Capability is scored for both standards from the same design research, re-weighted. The money is not: a coastal refit has to be costed on its own, which is why it can read “not analysed” above while the score beside it is real.
Assistant's read — an opinion, not a source
- This is a light, quick, deep-draft cruiser-racer that should be a lively and capable west-coast coastal boat after condition work, especially for making miles between weather windows.
- The weak points for the Cabo-to-SE-Alaska standard are not the hull form so much as the listing's silence: rig age, sail age, engine hours/service, seacock condition, tank condition, steering configuration and ground-tackle inventory are all unstated.
- The single fact that most changes the assessment is documented recent standing rigging plus a clean engine/shaft/steering sea trial, because the boat is otherwise a 22-year-old performance production boat with limited disclosed maintenance history.

offer + full refit
Worst case, every line landing in full: $101,831. Planning figure is the likely cost above; this is the tail, not the expectation.
Resale
The gross figure flatters: Australian duty and GST fall due on sale, and brokerage is charged on the sale price.

Where to open
Asking price less $82,485 — the negotiable share of $47,200 in disclosed and suspected defects plus $90,275 of weighted risk. Offshore upgrades are excluded on purpose: a watermaker and a liferaft are your ambition, not the seller's problem, and the next buyer wanting a Bay daysailer would pay near the ask.

How much of this is actually known
A boat priced from guesses is a different risk from one priced from quotes, at the same total.
